"I wish we could've stayed forever."
"Me too, babe," Jamie sighed as he pushed the luggage trolley through Heathrow Airport's busy concourse, Billie close by his side, "I don't think I'd ever get sick of all that food."
The pair had returned from a long weekend in Portugal ahead of Richmond's return to the Premier League. It was just what they needed, both having been individually busy throughout the summer. Jamie had been training tirelessly, and he was in the best shape he'd ever been, his chest was broader and his arms were stronger (Billie noticed it every time he wrapped his arms around her).
Billie had also been working hard, picking up various freelance jobs alongside her role at Richmond. Following her success with the Lionesses, she'd been approached by various publications and brands, requesting for her to shoot their campaigns. It was overwhelming, but with consistent reminders from Jamie, she affirmed that she had earnt those opportunities.
And for once, she wasn't just behind the camera.
"Aha!" Jamie grinned as he approached a nearby newsagent's on the airport concourse, "I bet they've got copies."
"Jamie, I really don't think-"
"I ain't taking no for an answer, Bils," Jamie told her as he led the way into the small shop that was often frequented by holidaymakers looking for a book, newspaper or magazine to read on their flight, "This is fucking mega."
"Fine," Billie hummed, unable to hide her smile at his eagerness to support her achievements, watching Jamie as he scanned the shelves for a familiar face.

"Here we go," Jamie smiled with pride as he held up a copy of Rollacoaster magazine with Billie on the front cover, "I'm fucking proud of you, babe."
"Thank you," Billie smiled fondly as she wrapped her arms around his torso, "Now, let's go, can't keep my brother waiting too long, can we?"
"Just a minute," Jamie picked up several copies of the magazine.
"What are you doing?" Billie frowned as she let go of him.
"One for you, one for me, one for Phoebe, one for Roy, one for Ted and me mum also wants one," Jamie informed her with a proud grin.
"You don't need to do that, J," Billie sighed as she watched him place the stack of magazines on top of their luggage on the trolley.
"But I want to," He assured her, "And these will be flying off the shelves like those eccles cakes we used to get at home."
"Didn't think it was possible to fall even more in love with you," Billie smirked up at him, the pair of them wearing matching caps with 'Portugal' printed on them that allowed them to blend in more, Jamie's was pink and Billie's was green.
